About this item
Get started mixing music right away with this B&H Kit that combines a Solid State Logic SSL 2+ MKII 2x4 USB-C Audio/MIDI Interface with two studio monitor speakers, two balanced 1/4" TRS to XLR cables, and two isolation pads designed to reduce vibration transfer from your speakers for clearer, distortion-free audio reproduction.
Two High-Gain SSL Mic Pre / Line-Level Inputs
The SSL 2+ MKII is equipped with two high-performance SSL-designed microphone preamps, delivering a massive 64 dB gain range and outstanding 116.5 dB dynamic range.
The design uses a mixture of specially chosen discrete, low-noise transistors in combination with ICs to deliver performance far beyond what’s usually associated with a portable bus-powered interface.
Both mic/line channels are equipped with independently switchable high-pass filters to clean up rumble. And for condenser microphones, switchable +48V phantom power is provided, so you can record with a mixture of microphone types at the same time.
The two XLR-1/4" combo inputs double up as line-level inputs, designed to capture keyboards, synths, samplers, drum machines, or external audio processors like EQs and compressors. With a huge 117 dB dynamic range and +24 dBu maximum input level, SSL 2+ MKII’s line inputs are compatible with all professional line-level equipment.
Two Hi-Z Instrument Inputs
In addition to the XLR-1/4" combo mic/line inputs on the back panel, SSL 2+ MKII features two dedicated 1/4" auto-detect instrument (DI) inputs located on the front panel.
Just like you find on a guitar amp, these Hi-Z inputs allow you to record guitar, bass, or anything with a high impedance output.
SSL-designed DIs—as found on their larger desk-top mixers—deliver amazing weight, detail, and texture to your instrument recordings, making sure you have the best possible sound to process in your DAW.
Four Balanced Outputs
Located on the rear panel, four 1/4" balanced outputs let you connect your studio monitors, rackmount kit, FX pedals, and more.
With professional-grade outputs, the SSL 2+ MKII delivers 120 dB dynamic range, allowing you to hear every detail in your productions—from the most subtle riff to the deepest bass line.
Two Discrete Headphone Outputs, Zero-Latency Monitoring
The two headphone outputs are conveniently located on the front panel. These reengineered outputs (featuring high-current NJM headphone amps) are capable of driving any type of headphones, from small in-ear monitors to large-diaphragm models.
Now boasting an impressive 119.5 dB dynamic range, SSL 2+ MKII gives you all the performance and clarity needed for accurate monitoring in any environment.
The Mix control knob located on the front panel allows you to blend between the USB output (DAW) and live inputs, for zero-latency monitoring.
Headphone outputs A and B feature independent volume control and can be fed from different DAW outputs—perfect for creating independent artist and engineer monitor mixes.
Legacy 4K Analog Enhancement
Underneath the gain knobs on both input channels, you'll note the Legacy 4K button. This feature helps you bring audio to life as you record it, by adding subtle harmonic distortion and a high-frequency boost.
Both are analog processes that take their cue from the sound of the legendary and classic SSL 4000 Series consoles, hence the name 4K.
Next-Gen 32-Bit / 192 kHz
The SSL 2+ MKII is built around Next-Gen 32-bit / 192 kHz converters. Compared to the previous generation, it delivers clearer, more detailed recordings, preserving every nuance of your performance.
Capture stunning acoustic performances, record drum machines and synths with more punch and texture. Make your live streams sound like professional broadcasts and mix quicker and easier as sounds are more defined.
Professional Studio Quality, Front to Back
SSL 2+ MK II features high-quality Neutrik XLR and jack connectors and ALPS pots.
There are updated switches on the front panel, with status 5-segment LEDs, so you know exactly how your device is configured when recording.
Excellent Dynamics, Balanced Sound
Stocked with Focal's exclusive, French-manufactured Slatefiber woofer, the Focal 50 EVO provides an excellent presentation of dynamic range. You'll also notice that the speakers are quite balanced. You'll get the same sonic picture throughout your monitoring environment, not just in the sweetspot. And, the monitors have been engineered to give you the same frequency balance at any loudness.
Flexible Mounting
This monitor is built to be used in a variety of ways. Mount it on a stand, in a traditional nearfield setup, or use the built-in insert to mount the speaker to a wall for immersive formats, such as Dolby Atmos.
A Variety of Inputs
Dedicated XLR, 1/4" TRS and RCA inputs are on hand, so you're covered for pretty much any professional or high-end consumer analog connection.
Comprehensive Room EQ
Adjust the low midrange or the high end to better suit your environment. You'll note a filter adjustable between 0 and 300 Hz (±6 dB), as well as a treble-centric one selectable between 4.5 and 22 kHz (±3 dB).
